Feedback Thoughts
FEEDBACK THOUGHTS
After reading this article linked above, I believe that the 'silencing of the critical voices in our heads' is a trait belonging to a growth mindset. The example given in this article about Rajeev was a very clear case of self doubt. The fact that even with all the positive feedback from coworkers, he was still latching onto small negatives like their tone of voice reveals how much he was expecting negative feedback. This does come with creative projects, and I do think it's normal to critique you're own work very hard sometimes, I do agree with Sabina Nawaz in saying that you should listen and learn from negatives, but focus on positives and what you're doing right already. Projects and learning is a process and it's natural to make mistakes.
After reading the article above I've learned that the greatest damage rejection causes is usually self-inflicted. Our natural response to being dumped or getting picked last for a team is not just to lick our wounds but to become intensely self-critical. In other words, just when our self-esteem is hurting most, we go and damage it even further.This is emotionally unhealthy and self-destructive yet every single one of us has done it at one time or another.
But there are better and healthier ways to respond to rejection, Here are just some of them:
- Have zero tolerance for self criticism
- Revive your self worth
-Boost feelings of connection
